Type 4 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a life-threatening world health problem in which chronic kidney disease leads to progressive cardiovascular disease. In type 4 CRS, cardiac inflammation is an excellent target for both detection and therapy; however, this progression was underestimated by previous studies due to the lack of effective detection methods. To noninvasively visualize cardiac inflammation and monitor therapeutic efficacy of anti-inflammatory treatment in type 4 CRS, we here synthesized a dual-modality magneto-fluorescent nanoparticle (MNP) by combining ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle and Rhodamine B for both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical imaging. This dual-functional MNP exhibited excellent performance such as high r2 relaxivity coefficient (283.4 mM−1 s−1), high magnetism (96.7 emu/g iron) and a near neutral surface charge to minimize the reticuloendothelial system uptake. In vivo cardiac MRI showed significant negative contrast in the type 4 CRS rats, and the signal intensity on optical imaging was significantly higher in the type 4 CRS group compared with sham-operated and drug-treated groups. The specific targeting profile of MNPs to monocyte-macrophages was proven by histopathological analysis. Taken together, we demonstrate that this dual-modality strategy is feasible for noninvasively assessing myocardial inflammation and monitoring therapeutic efficacy in type 4 CRS.  相似文献

Stable and cytocompatible hybrid PEGylated micelles with multimodal imaging capabilities are described. The F3O4-encapsulated polymeric micelles composed of cores containing magnetic nanoparticles and polyethylene glycol (PEG) shells are synthesized by self-assembly of amphiphilic poly(HFMA-co-VBK)-g-PEG copolymers and oleic acid stabilized Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles in the core produce T2-weighted MR imaging functionalities, whereas the small fluorescent monomer carbazole in the polymer shell introduces good fluorescent properties. The multifunctional micelles exhibit excellent paramagnetic properties with the maximum saturation magnetization of 9.61 emu/g and transverse relaxivity rate of 157.44 mm−1 S−1. In vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies reveal enhanced contrast between the liver and spleen. Fluorescence spectra show characteristic emission peaks from carbazole at 350 nm and 365 nm and vivid blue fluorescence can be observed by 2-photon confocal scanning laser microscopy (CLSM). In vivo optical imaging demonstrates the unique fluorescent characteristics of the Fe3O4-encapsulated polymeric micelles in the liver and spleen and the excellent multifunctional properties suggest potential clinical use as nanocarriers in magnetic resonance imaging and optical imaging.  相似文献

Directing the controlled differentiation and tracking of stem cells is essential to achieve successful stem cell therapy. In this work, we describe a multi-modal (MR/optical) transfection agent (MTA) for efficient gene delivery and cell tracking of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The MTA was synthesized through a facile two-step approach with 1) ligand exchange of a catechol-functionalized polypeptide (CFP) and 2) chemical immobilization of fluorescence labelled cationic polymer via aminolysis reaction. Cationic polymer-immobilized MTAs with size of ∼40 nm exhibit greatly enhanced colloidal stability in aqueous solution. In addition, the MTAs were capable of binding DNA molecules for transfection. The MTA/pDNA complex showed relatively good transfection efficiency in hMSCs (compared to the commercial transfection agent, Lipofectamine) and good biocompatibility. MTA-treated hMSCs were successfully visualized after transplantation via MR and optical imaging system over 14 days. These studies highlight the challenges associated with the potential advantages of designing multi-modal nanostructured materials as tools for genetic materials delivery and cell-tracking in stem cell therapy.  相似文献

We present two applications of wavelet and related techniques to problems arising in medical imaging. Both make considerable use of the edge detection and classification properties of wavelet-type representations. First we describe simple and effective techniques for image denoising and contrast enhancement based on the multiscale edge representation of images. These techniques are sufficiently flexible to successfully address the varying requirements posed by several different medical imaging modalities in common use today. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the application of these techniques to various types of medical images. Next we describe adapted waveform encoding, a technique for magnetic resonance imaging. One advantage of this technique istthat it can be used to efficiently encode edge features of the object being imaged. This has a particular diagnostic application in tracking heart wall thickness during the cardiac cycle, which we present along with some experimental results along this line. We also present an analysis of the signal-to-noise ratios of images formed with this technique, as this is a factor of paramount importance in MRI. The fact that wavelet schemes tend to concentrate energy near edge features makes the result rather different than that found in standard Fourier based approaches. We indicate an exciting potential application of our technique: reducing spectral leakage in phosphorus spectroscopy.  相似文献

Targeted ultrasound contrast agents can be prepared by attaching targeting ligands to the lipid, protein or polymer shell coating of gas-filled microbubbles. These materials are stable on storage, fully biocompatible and can be administered parenterally. Detection of microbubble contrast agents by ultrasound is very efficient (single particles with picogram mass can be visualized). Covalent or noncovalent binding techniques can be used to attach targeting ligands. Ligand-carrying microbubbles adhere to the respective molecular targets in vitro and in vivo. Several biomechanical methods are available to improve targeting efficacy, such as the use of a flexible tether spacer arm between the ligand and the bubble, and the use of folds on the microbubble shell, that project out, enhancing the contact area and increasing the length of the lever arm.  相似文献

目的 探讨常规MRI结合弥散加权成像(DWI)中表观扩散系数(ADC)在低、高级别脑膜瘤的鉴别诊断中的临床应用价值。方法 回顾性分析中国科学技术大学附属第一医院2018年1月-2019年8月68例脑膜瘤患者的临床资料,男29例、女39例,年龄24~78(48.62±10.28)岁。其中WHOⅠ级脑膜瘤52例(低级别组),WHO Ⅱ级12例、WHO Ⅲ级4例(高级别组)。患者术前均行常规MRI结合DWI检查。观察两组患者的MRI征象以及DWI特点;比较两组患者脑膜瘤实质和瘤周水肿部位ADC值以及肿瘤实质与对侧脑白质的相对表观扩散系数(rADC),利用ROC曲线分析最佳rADC值对低、高级别脑膜瘤的诊断效能。结果 两组患者基线资料差异均无统计学意义(P值均>0.05)。高级别组脑膜瘤边缘不规整、强化不均匀、边缘水肿区、脑膜尾征和囊变、坏死、钙化区等影像学征象发生率明显高于低级别组脑膜瘤,差异均有统计学差异(P值均<0.05)。52例低级别组脑膜瘤中,有38例DWI、ADC均呈等信号,14例DWI呈稍高信号、ADC呈稍低信号;16例高级别组脑膜瘤实质部分DWI呈高信号、ADC呈低信号,而囊变、出血坏死、钙化区呈高信号。低级别组、高级别组脑膜瘤肿瘤实质部分 ADC值分别为(0.94±0.14)×10-3、(0.73±0.11)×10-3 mm2/s,rADC值分别为(1.16±0.18)×10-3、(0.95±0.14)×10-3 mm2/s,低级别组脑膜瘤实质部分ADC和rADC值均明显高于高级别组脑膜瘤,差异均有统计学意义(t=5.491、4.277, P值均<0.01);低级别组、高级别组脑膜瘤的瘤周水肿区域ADC分别为(1.82±0.19)×10-3、(1.88±0.21)×10-3 mm2/s,rADC值分别为(2.29±0.24)×10-3、(2.38±0.29)×10-3 mm2/s,差异均无统计学意义(P值均>0.05);以rADC值诊断低级别组、高级别组脑膜瘤的最佳临界点为1.035×10-3 mm2/s,其灵敏度为88.5%,特异度为87.5%。结论 常规MRI结合DWI中ADC值的测量对低、高级别脑膜瘤的鉴别诊断具有重要临床应用价值。  相似文献

We developed a novel manganese (Mn2+) chelate for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of myocardial viability in acute and chronic myocardial infarct (MI) models, and compared it with Gadolinium‐based delay enhancement MRI (Gd3+‐DEMRI) and histology. MI was induced in 14 rabbits by permanent occlusion of the left circumflex coronary artery. Gd3+‐DEMRI and Mn2+ chelate‐based delayed enhancement MRI (Mn2+ chelate‐DEMRI) were performed at 7 days (acute MI, n = 8) or 8 weeks (chronic MI, n = 6) after surgery with sequential injection of 0.15 mmol/kg Gd3+ and Mn2+ chelate. The biodistribution of Mn2+ in tissues and blood was measured at 1.5 and 24 h. Blood pressure, heart rate (HR), left ventricular (LV) function, and infarct fraction (IF) were analyzed, and IF was compared with the histology. The Mn2+ chelate group maintained a stable hemodynamic status during experiment. For acute and chronic MI, all rabbits survived without significant differences in HR or LV function before and after injection of Mn2+ chelate or Gd3+ (p > 0.05). Mn2+ chelate mainly accumulated in the kidney, liver, spleen, and heart at 1.5 h, with low tissue uptake and urine residue at 24 h after injection. In the acute MI group, there was no significant difference in IF between Mn2+ chelate‐DEMRI and histology (22.92 ± 2.21% vs. 21.79 ± 2.25%, respectively, p = 0.87), while Gd3+‐DEMRI overestimated IF, as compared with histology (24.54 ± 1.73%, p = 0.04). In the chronic MI group, there was no significant difference in IF between the Mn2+ chelate‐DEMRI, Gd3+‐DEMRI, and histology (29.50 ± 11.39%, 29.95 ± 9.40%, and 29.00 ± 10.44%, respectively, p > 0.05), and all three were well correlated (r = 0.92–0.96, p < 0.01). We conclude that the use of Mn2+ chelate‐DEMRI is reliable for MI visualization and identifies acute MI more accurately than Gd3+‐DEMRI.  相似文献

Summary The course is reported of a patient with periarteritis nodosa who initially presented with neurological symptoms. Multiple cerebral lesions were documented by the first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) investigation. The majority of these had disappeared completely in the follow-up MRI studies. In contrast to neurological improvement the patient eventually died due to multiorgan failure. Postmortem histological examination revealed no pathological findings in the brain except one single necrotic area already known from MRI. Remissions of histological and angiographic alterations in periarteritis nodosa have been described as local healing leading to fibrosis and scarring. Our findings suggest that restitutio ad integrum may occur, at least in cerebral lesions.Abbreviations PAN panarteritis nodosa - MRI magnetic resonance imaging - CT computerized tomography - CNS central nervous system  相似文献

The corpus callosum (CC) is a major anatomical and functional commissure linking the two cerebral hemispheres. With MR imaging in the sagittal plane, the corpus callosum can be depicted in great detail. Mid-sagittal magnetic resonance images of 80 normal individuals were analyzed to assess whether or not the morphology of the corpus callosum and its parts are related to sex and handedness. The subjects were 40 males (20 right-handers and 20 left-handers) and 40 females (20 right-handers and 20 left-handers). The midsagittal area of the corpus callosum was divided into seven sub-areas using Witelsons method. The most striking morphological changes concerned left-handers, who had larger areas of the anterior body, posterior body and isthmus than right-handers. In addition, right-handed males had larger rostrums and isthmuses than right-handed females. These significantly increased areas were related to handedness in right-handed males. However, left-handed males had larger anterior and posterior bodies than right-handed males. In contrast, there was no significant difference between left-handers and right-handers in females. The areas of the rostrum and posterior body of the corpus callosum increased significantly with sex in males. Moreover, there were no significant age-related changes in the total corpus callosum and sub-areas of the corpus callosum. In conclusion, these anatomical changes in corpus callosum morphology require taking the sexual definition and dominant handedness into consideration.  相似文献

目的:探讨星形细胞肿瘤磁敏感加权成像( SWI)半量化与动态对比剂增强MR灌注加权成像( PI)的相关性。方法回顾性分析98例经手术病理证实星形细胞肿瘤患者的术前SWI及PI检查资料。测量SWI中肿瘤内磁敏感低信号区( ITSHIA)半量化数据,以及PI中肿瘤内实性部分最大相对脑血流量值( rrCBV瘤内max )和瘤周区最大相对CBV值( rrCBV瘤周max )。应用Kruskal-Wallis H检验比较不同病理分级星形细胞肿瘤间rrCBV瘤内max与rrCBV瘤周max的差异,比较不同级别肿瘤间灌注热点区与ITSHIA形态的对应情况;应用Spearman相关性检验比较不同级别肿瘤间SWI中各半量化指标与PI中rrCBV瘤内max与rrCBV瘤周max的相关性。结果星形细胞肿瘤rrCBV瘤内max值( rs =0.662,P<0.01)及rrCBV瘤周max值(rs =0.794,P<0.01)与其分级显著相关。毛细胞型星形细胞瘤rrCBV瘤内max高于Ⅱ级星形细胞瘤,与Ⅲ级肿瘤类似;而 rrCBV瘤周max与Ⅱ级星形细胞瘤差异无统计学意义( P >0.05),却低于高级别肿瘤。星形细胞肿瘤的ITSHIA半量化指标与rrCBV瘤内max与rrCBV瘤周max值呈显著线性正相关。星形细胞肿瘤内灌注热点区与ITSHIA不完全对应。结论星形细胞肿瘤SWI指标与PI指标密切相关,二者对于术前评估星形细胞肿瘤的病理分级同样具有较高价值。灌注热点区与ITSHIA并不完全相同,可能与二者显示肿瘤内血管生成的机制不同有关。  相似文献

Different brain areas are thought to be integrated into large-scale networks to support cognitive function. Recent approaches for investigating structural organization and functional coordination within these networks involve measures of connectivity among brain areas. We review studies combining in vivo structural and functional brain connectivity data, where (a) structural connectivity analysis, mostly based on diffusion tensor imaging is paired with voxel-wise analysis of functional neuroimaging data or (b) the measurement of functional connectivity based on covariance analysis is guided/aided by structural connectivity data. These studies provide insights into the relationships between brain structure and function. Promising trends involve (a) studies where both functional and anatomical connectivity data are collected using high-resolution neuroimaging methods and (b) the development of advanced quantitative models of integration.  相似文献
